Concept

Simba is a mobile champion who benefits heavily from brush; as such, he is at home in the jungle, where he'd be fearsome. His ganks reward patience, allowing him to strike rapidly and deadly at the right moment. A ferocious melee combatant, Simba needs to get close to his targets to hit and chase them, and is also weak to crowd control given his lack of tankiness, but nonetheless shines in teamfights thanks to his ultimate, which allows him to dominate his surroundings.

Abilities

Hunting Grounds

RANGE: 2000

Simba prowls the brush before moving in for the kill. Staying in brush for 2 seconds reveals nearby enemies and marks them as Prey. While in the brush, Simba gains 4 / 5 / 6% armor penetration against Prey every second, up to a maximum of 16 / 20 / 24% armor penetration.

These bonus persist as long as Simba remains in brush and for 8 seconds afterwards.

Leaving a brush and entering it again (or into another one) doesn't refresh the length of Prey, unless Simba lurks again. However, if he lurks while there is a Prey nearby, he will need only 1 second to identify his new or actual Preys.
